Bail Money

In the Virginia suburbs of Washington, D.C., the Arlington County Housing Division is hosting in a happy hour called “Housing 4 Hipsters.” This is a real event. That is actually happening. With the “4” in the title and everything.

The purpose? To help people of the hipster-American variety (presumably) discover ways to take advantage of the county’s various housing assistance programs. Doug Myrick, an official with the Housing Division, tells Arlnow.com that the county is holding the event because, “We want people to understand there is housing assistance available across a wide range of incomes.” Is it possible to take advantage of rent restrictions and/or housing subsidies ironically? Myrick also says that “when people see government assistance, they often think it must be for low income or they won’t qualify.” I can’t imagine why anyone would assume that housing assistance would be limited to those with low-incomes. But at this point, I guess it’s for everyone. Will hipsters still like housing assistance now that it’s gone mainstream?

Or maybe the idea is to take insane, widely discredited housing policy ideas and make them retro-cool: The event page on the Housing Division website — which exists because, as I cannot stress enough, this is an actual real thing — includes the following teaser: “Options include buying your first home with little as 1% down!”

The left views everyone as a part of a special interest group. There are no individuals.

I think hipster is the new metrosexual, only trendier…if you’re a guy.

Girl hipsters are more punk…migrating to trendy dweeb or geek.

Is hipster an endangered feces, um species? No, the first one.

Are the three idiots in the picture “hipsters”? They look like they’re waiting for the short bus to take them to workshop.

“Options include buying your first home with little as 1% down! ”

but wait there’s more. you get to blame the mean old bankers when you decide to go belly up…

‘Hipster’, as it’s own protected class?????

I see now…….Palestinians and Hipsters exist, but Israel has no right to exist. Its because Hipsters and Palestinians have the approval of their International Socialist peers, and the ‘Joos’ don’t. The cool kids have given their stamp of approval to the Hipsters.

But who are these cool kids, and who endowed them with the authority to approve or disapprove of what any of us does?

Let’s all go get drunk and buy hipster homes for 1% down.
What could possibly go wrong?

At least it’s targeted toward citizens. Here in CA, all the free stuff is packaged up for the illegal aliens.

They gotta be sponge-worthy hipsters!

Are the douchebags in the photo supposed to be “hipsters”? Looks like they just got back from a dumbass convention. Damn, I’d be embarrassed to go out in public like that.

i just hope they don’t try to make my dogs “hip”. snuggles and buttercup don’t like “hip”.

As a Canadian I believe I can find support for these down-trodden eco-warriors that meets every one of their desires. We can provide them with housing that is 100% green, totally carbon neutral, does not contribute to urban blight and is the product of honest labour without any capitalist making a dime on it. Its construction has no detrimental effect on the environment,nor do they need to tear up the beautiful countryside with roads or have diesel-spewing construction equipment on site. Not only are these desirable residences in an unspoilt pristine part of nature, they are situated amongst the original owners of the country, no longer are these poor aboriginals to be exploited by the brutal white man, but they will welcome the white man to be part of their community..

So just let me know how many igloos you want me to put up on Baffin Island.

ImNoDhimmi.. a loser.. slacker.. ne’er do well.. no account trash.. shall I get more disparaging of the bottom feeding scum suckers who think its ‘hip’ to sponge off taxpayers?

What’s a “hipster”? Those losers look like occutards. Do they constitute “hipsters”? We have a microbrewery where I live where assholes like this hang out. They all look the same…. f**ked up hair, bad hats in hot weather, and they all smell of patchouli. They can’t have jobs. Who could look at that and cut a paycheck for it?

Grimmer

At least we will know where these shameless losers are, all bunched up together in their own little ghetto pretending the world began the day they were born. I want to bitch slap all their parents.

What could possibly go wrong with forcing banks to write home loans to hispters? It isn’t like irresponsible loans could bring down an entire economic system like the dollar, right? The Banking Reform bill did corrected all these problems, right?

Hipsters? Really? Are there gonna be bongos and readings from Jack Kerouac?

Aayyyyy! My eyes!!! What has been seen cannot be unseen.
What the hell was that?

They have “door prizes” and “complementary refreshments.” Only in America are the moochers so conditioned to getting something for nothing that you have to bribe them to come in and take advantage of a government handout.

Krystal

They are childish adults who never matured. They think they are “cool” when in reality they hate most people who do not think like them, and they do not know the meaning of hard work and getting ahead. Not the type of guys either you would ever want protecting you in an emergency, they’d be the first to run. You won’t see them digging to help find survivors during 9 /11 or helping out those in the Midwest now struggling. I hope that is the state of Virginia’s tax money being wasted and not the tax money from all the states (federal). You hear nothing in support of those poor people out West who lost their homes and some their lives – they need our help – not these dregs. Gee I haven’t heard our President say a word about the disaster out west or for that matter any disaster that strikes Middle America or working people.

There’s a completely silver haired “hipster” riding a child’s bike in the background.

Ciccio…my grandfather served in the USAF on a base in the Baffin isles…he always told of how harsh but beautiful the landscape and how much he adored the natives. He said they were the kindest most genuine people he’d ever met. This was from a man that didn’t like anyone!
Thanks for the smile and memory jog.

I suppose after free contraception, housing assistance would make sense so they can spend $6 on their daily Starbucks, gotta be hip you know.

Axel, thanks for the links. I am now educated re: hipsters. Sorry I asked!

Beating the system is a tradition for liberals. I hope we have a new President and lawmakers who can stop this kind of nonsense that is destroying this country.
